Our favorite stars are flocking to Las Vegas to start their own residencies, and Keith Urban is the latest artist to follow suit. His residency at Caesars Palace kicked off earlier this month, and it didn’t take him long to fully comprehend the appeal of this concept.

Urban recently discussed his latest series of live shows with Rolling Stone, and the thing he loves the most about Las Vegas is getting to perform at several venues at once.

“I think what I love about it, it’s three venues in one. You’ve got an arena stage that truly is, I mean the production you can put on a stage is massive… It’s rowdy, it’s a raucous vibe. The three venues that I love playing the most are all in one place,” said the country star.

Keith Urban’s Las Vegas residency kicked off on January 10th, and it didn’t take it long to become a hit. Shortly after his first show, he added four more dates for July and September.
